Return to Mechanicsburg

December 21, 2015

Brielle, Fitz and I set out once again, to try and get some interseting captures around the Sesquehanna river.

Darryl Cover Photoshoot

December 8, 2016

Spontaneous photoshoot for the cover to GYYPS' sophomore project "Darryl: A Mixtape by GYYPS." We were inspired by the Schoolzones cover art, with a goal of shooting a cover that achieved a grittier aesthetic when compared to Canoga Park EP. I think we actually surprise released the project immediately after deciding on a final photo for the album art.

USC Conquest 2015

Felly in Tempe, AZ

Felly and GYYPS headline a show at Club Red in Tempe, AZ. Supposedly Spooky Lean & Lil Uzi Vert were going to play an opening set before us, but ended up missing their flight from Miami. Who knows?

Chinatown, Chinatown

November 7, 2016

The squad hits Manhattan after the Danbury show to check out the RED offices. We attempted to film a Desert Eagle music video in Chinatown, but the end product was eventually scrapped.

Tuxedo Junction

November 6, 2015

Felly and GYYPS opening for DJ Carnage in Danbury, CT @ Tuxedo Junction. GYYPS ended up getting in a fight with security after they cut our set time in half. Sorry 'bout that.

Weekender 2015

October 31, 2015

Squad takes the bay for the USC vs. UC Berkeley football game. We hiked around SF and trekked down to Berkeley for a day, crazy Times.

Featuring: Felly, Gabe & Brooke

Gorilla Music Video

October 10, 2015

Behind-the-scenes for the official music video of Felly's "Gorilla," featuring GYYPS. Video directed by CJ Barbato & Jack Craymer, produced by myself. This was a really cool one, we were actually inspired by the absurdity of the debates running up to the Republican Primary. I feel like it holds even more weight now after viewing the debates that aired before the presidential election.

Felly Bucket Hats

September 30, 2015

Introducing the new Felly bucket hats for the online store.

University Hype Show in LA

September 19, 2015

We had a pretty busy September this year. Shoutout Archie at University Hype for booking us this small show in DTLA. To date, this is the only real LA show that Felly and GYYPS have played, although the upcoming date at the El Rey in January should be a good time. We literally broke the floor. Sheesh. We felt really lit afterwards, CJ did some backflips and there was a random minivan with the door open right outside the Courts. Oh, we also filmed a music video via snapchats for GYYPS' "Canoga Park," before/during/after this show, but sadly the video never saw the light of day. Maybe we'll drop it on y'all one day.

Fel's 20th Birthday

Quick portraits of Fel painting on his birthday. What is he painting? No clue.

USC Welcome Back Concert 2015

August 22, 2015

USC's Welcome Back Concert, featuring KR, Post Malone & Cashmere Cat

Week in Paradise

August 3 - 12, 2015

Spent a week in Maui, Hawaii and San Francisco. I actually had my first phone call with Tyler Blatchley, from RED, while on this vacation. Hawaii is one of the coolest places 'in' the United States, as is San Francisco.

Featuring: Gemma

Grizfolk Takes Capitol Records

July 28, 2016

Got to spend a day with Grizfolk at Capitol Records, concluding with a short show at the Redbury.

Pitchfork 2015

July 17 - 19, 2015

Fel, Carol, Matt and I visited Tyler and Lindsay in Chicago for Pitchfork festival. Highlights include ILOVEMAKONNEN, Vic Mensa & Mac Demarco. It rained like crazy.

2575 Short Film

July 11, 2015

Stills from a short film my team was assigned to create for a summer film class at USC. The film concerned an astronaut sent to an alien planet in order to discern if humanity could relocate, due to the decaying state of Earth. I would tell you the ending, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

Featuring: Brandon, Jason, Amelia, Christian & Robert.

Fourth of July 2015

July 4, 2015

Probably one of the most enjoyable days of my life. Drove down to Hermosa Beach to meet up with Riley and his friends from highschool. Fel and GYYPS ended up meeting us out there, along with Fel's cousins and we really sent it. The house down the street happened to be playing "Probation." Good times. Also, where did my denim Supreme hat go? I need that.

Featuring: Felly, GYYPS, Caroline & Riley.

Jack and I Go to London

June 9 - 12, 2015

Jack invited me to help him out with a music video for a client in London, so obviously I accepted. Had a great few days building content around the city, and checking out the sights.

Featuring: Jack & Ailing.

First Real Show in Salt Lake City

June 6, 2015

Shoutout Mind, Body & Beats for promoting our first real show. We actually got to fly out to SLC for this one, headlining, which was awesome. Great vibes in SLC, Tuwan's parents are lit.

Negly with Matt

Die All Alone

June 1, 2015

Behind-the-scenes of the official music video for "Dope4Yall," directed by myself. I had a train to catch, and about 25 minutes of free time, so we decided to drive over to sasco beach, prop the camera on a tripod and catch the kids hanging out in the thunderstorm. Some of my favorite self-made visuals to date, I think. I don't want to die all alone.

Featuring: Felly & Carol.

White Music Video

May 30, 2015

Behind-the-scenes of the official music video for Felly's "White" directed by Jack Craymer and myself. While not our most successful music video, I have to say that I have had more people tell me this video has impacted their life positively compared to any of our other work. Small things.

Featuring: Felly & Jack.

Breezy Pinchot

May 24, 2015

Breezy and I drove up the road to Pinchot to grab a few shots for fun. I played around with the shade a bit, the results were eh, but still some nice greens that we don't get out in LA very often.

Don't Change Music Video

May 15, 2015

Behind-the-scenes of the official music video for Felly's "Don't Change," directed by Jack Craymer and myself. This is a personal favorite video, PV is one of the dopest places to shoot. Hiking with all the camera equipment was hell, though, definitely could use some better planning in the future. I love this place.

Featuring: Felly, GYYPS, Nik, May & Jack Craymer.

Pray For Us

May 9, 2015

Quick shot of the two car garage. Canoga.

Featuring: Matt, Kess, Jamie, Erin, Sarah, JJ & Birdie

Malibu Yeah

April 28, 2015

Camped overnight at the Santa Monica State Park near Malibu and then hiked to this watering hole.

Featuring: Zoë

Felly versus Ski/Snow

April 24, 2015

Felly headlines a show at the USC Ski/Snowboard team's house. The event benefitted H20 Club's efforts to bring water filters to areas in Africa in need of clean water. Fel managed to hit like 2 songs before the feds shut us down.

Felly's First Show

April 3, 2015

Felly's first live show, performing at 28th and Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles. Featuring "Pool Party" on the instruments (GYYPS + Carson + Tim). Tore it up with live renditions of songs from Restless - Milk & Sugar with the full band.

Zuma Zuma

March 29, 2015

Calm sunsets at Zuma. Crossing a highway to get to the beach seems like a dumb idea.

Featuring: Birdie, Tyler & Lindsay.

Empire State

March 20, 2015

Day trip to Manhattan, had to grab some rooftop shots.

Cayman Islands

Probation Music Video

March 8 & 13, 2015

Behind-the-scenes of the official music video for Felly's "Probation," directed by Jack Craymer, produced by JJ Rubin & edited by myself. This was our first budgeted music video, and the end product is still something I'm extremely proud of.

Featuring: JJ, Felly, GYYPS.

Venice Valentine

February 14, 2015

What a day. We didn't end up leaving for the beach until around 2PM, on Valentine's Day, which was dumb. It took us about 2.5 hours to make it to Venice (like 10 miles??) and there was no parking, so we ended up leaving our cars in the Venice Public Library lot. In our defence, the lot claims that it's open until sunset, but we returned to our cars around like 6PM and the security had already closed the gate. Birdie + Us sat around in the lot for an hour, waiting for the guard that wanted $75 from each car leaving, to open the gate, before one of the other 30 groups trapped in the lot decided to off road their card down the sidewalk. We ended up parallel parking into the archway in front of the library and then driving straight off the sidewalk into rush hour traffic. What a time. I hope the schemey security guard trekked all the way back after everyone had escaped.

Featuring: Jamie, Sarah, JJ & Zoë.

Zac Jones in the Stu

February 10, 2015

Zac Jones in the home studio recording "Dem Neva Know." I directed the music video for the track, which you can see here.

Lorenzo Sunsets

February 2, 2015

Got inspired to grab a few shots after class from the Lorenzo balconies. Man I hated that place.
